That musical instrument is called the "Theremin". It is one of the first electronic instruments, I believe (invented in the 1920s), and it used to be used to make eerie sounds for a lot of old science fiction movies.
Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin used it sometimes as well. EDIT - I have always believed the sound was produced by a theremin but it does not look like one in the video: having looked it up, I discover it is a related instrument developed by Paul Tanner www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2013/02/07/171385175/no-it-wasn-t-a-theremin-on-good-vibrations-remembering-paul-tanner
Loveth, Beach Boys is a spiritual experience even for an atheist such as myself. I suggest you next listen to God Only Knows - possibly the most beautiful piece of music ever written.
Great reaction to this masterpiece, loveth! The Beach Boys made many great songs and were always known for beautiful harmonies! This is one of their very best, but they also did some amazing work on "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "God Only Knows", "Don't Worry Baby" and "Sloop John B." You could also add to your list "One Less Bell To Answer" from The Fifth Dimension and 'Lucretia MacEvil" by Blood Sweat and Tears as songs you would enjoy reacting to!! Keep up the great work on your fabulous channel!!
It is lovely to see how much you were immersed in this classic even on first hearing it. You are right, there is no description with enough gravity to justify how good it is. I heard you mention the 80’s but you would have subsequently found out we are talking 1966!
I’m so glad you love it! Brian Wilson is the genius behind this music I would definitely recommend checking out the album pet sounds ! You’ll definitely be blown away
Loved putting this on the jukebox at my lunch stop in the early 80s. My fun was seeing every other customer tap their toes! Try Mr Blue Sky by ELO if you haven’t for similar great vibe.

That instrument is a Theremin. The song was first released in 1966

Just imagine when I was about 10 years old this came out on the radio just imagine how the sound it to my young mind it blew my freaking mind
you can say that again
That is Paul Tanner playing his invention, the electrotheremin with The Beach Boys on "Good Vibrations." What a trip, eh?
Thanks for pointing that out. I was a little confused. I love the theremin and the way it's incorporated in GOOD VIBRATIONS.
The Beach Boys had such light, fun songs. Their harmonies were superb. I love all their work!! Thanks Loveth. Im glad you you loved it! 😊😊🌹🌹

My god the first time ? Wow. This fabulous piece of music is timeless
I had the pleasure of seeing them twice in the 70’s. 🤩🤩
Gotta try their song “God only knows”
Thank you Loveth! Please react to their song "In My Room". One of their biggest hits with those 5 part harmonies.
The Beach Boys are probably the most appropriately named group ever. If you're ever feeling down, put on some Beach Boys for a good pick me up.
Try In My Room by them. 👍👍

First heard this song?when it came out on radio in 1966 i was 11.
In my room by the beach boys

It is an imitation, portable theremin.
Try their song "Kokomo" ! (1988 video)
God only knows.
Wouldn’t it be nice.
1967
You need to talk less and get into the flow of the music. Let it speak to you.
